  Hi! Newbie po ako. Me and my friends are planning to have Visit Visa to Melbourne by last quarter of 2013. Mga Help Desk Support po kami. Ang tanong ko po, may chance po kaya kami makahanap ng work in 2 weeks? Saan po may maraming IT Industry sa Melbourne? We are working in Kuala Lumpur as Help Desk Support for 2 years. I am hoping for anyone's opinion. Thank you in advance!

  hello sir....if ung hawak nyo lang po is visit visa (I presume tourist visa) medyo mukang malabo pa po sa sabaw ng dinuguan na makahanap ng work in 2 wks. Normally requirement po dto ay yung may resident visa na, medyo bihira po ang employer na nag sponsor ng 457 as help desk support. If may PR visa po kayo at least pwede kayo mag apply even online then ung interview is thru skype....pero try pa dn po kayo bka may kakilala kayo dto na pwedeng mag refer sa nyo sa company nila para ma sponsoran kayo ng 457.

  yup, matamlay ang automotive dto since big auto companies are moving out their manufacturing dahil sa cost. Ford, and Holden will be out by 2016-2017....Toyota may likely to follow. So kung makakapag iba ka pa ng industry, maybe in banking, finance, telecom or mining, oil&gas, yan cguro ung matitirang matibay na industry dto. Automotive mfng in Australia is no longer feasible according sa studies at kung meron mang automotive related industry na matitira dto cguro ung tinatawag nilang "automotive aftermarket" which is mostly parts replacement n lng.
